Shaolin Expands

China -- December 13, several monks from the Shaolin arrived in Guandu, Yunnan Province, according to china.org.cn.

Aiming to combine Shaolin Chan (zen) Buddhism and martial arts, with the native Buddhist culture of Yunnan - the monks reportedly had arrived to take over the management of the four ancient Kunming temples. Kunming is the province capital.

It is said that the Shaolin Temple agreed to take over the four temples because the local government had shown great respect to freedom of worship and belief.
